Franc Essential skin care – minimum ingredients; maximum results. Franc will make a visible difference to the appearance, feel and health of your skin.
All products in the Franc Essential range contain proven active ingredients to give you youthful, fresh and smooth skin – and you can use the range trusting that its ingredients are non-toxic and safe.
Franc offers a response to the modern environment’s daily assault on your skin – air pollution, chemically treated water, drying winds, air conditioning and harsh UV rays. Franc’s natural skincare products gently remove toxins, chemicals and makeup from your skin, supplying antioxidants, moisture and restorative ingredients.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body and, contrary to popular belief, it is does not act as an impermeable barrier between your internal organs and the external environment. In fact, your skin constantly interacts with and absorbs chemicals and products you’re exposed to. That’s why you should take care to only expose your body to safe and nourishing compounds.
Franc Essential’s skincare range protects your skin from irritation, reduces the effects of ageing and treats dryness, blemishes and scarring to give you beautiful, healthy skin.
Chantal Vanderhaeghen has been passionately involved in natural skincare since 1996. Raised in health-conscious Switzerland, it was second nature for Chantal to embrace natural healthcare principles. After completing a double major in language in Australia and a post graduate degree in administration, Chantal's subsequent years of work as a holistic massage and facial practitioner provided the opportunity to intimately study a complete range of skin types and their response to products on the market.
The fact that so many of these products fell short of their promise and often caused reactions to sensitive skin ignited a fire in Chantal. She soon found herself on an impassioned quest to find natural skincare solutions suited, initially, to Australia's unique climate - a climate that encourages outdoor enjoyment, but frequently results in dry, dehydrated-looking skin, accentuated wrinkles and lines, reduced oil gland activity and loss of elasticity. It became clear that carefully combined natural ingredients have the power to nourish and enhance skin the world around, no matter the conditions.
In Australia and Europe, Chantal observed, studied and met with world-renowned authorities in the medical and beauty industries, including American researcher, Ron Guba (BSc Health Sciences, Aromatic Medicine), and the late Donna Arthur (BSc, Ass. Dip. Natural Medicine), founder of the Australian School of Clinical Aromatherapy. Chantal completed a year's formal study in Australia in aromatherapy and after meeting Dr Penoel, a French GP specialising in aromatic medicine, became convinced of the vast benefits of utilizing essential oils as an effective adjunct to mainstream medicine.
Chantal worked with respected cosmetic scientist Jeanette Kemert to develop the Franc range and also endeavoured to build ecological sustainability into her business with the use of environmentally aware packaging and production methods. Chantal’s product ingredients are safe and, where possible, organic, with no fillers or bulking agents, and just the barest minimum of a chemical preservative to protect the products’ integrity. Chantal has developed labelling that is honest and detailed.
Chantal believes openness and integrity – of product, business operations and marketing – are the cornerstones of successful business.
